Such a great lens..Have so many micro-third lens, the 12-40, 60 macro, 25mm. and more. This lens blew me away.. So sharp, focus so fast. Could not believe. Have been Olympus user for many years, back to film days. Will add two photo's I thought were really good.

This lens has remarkable reach and produces excellent results for its price. It is very enjoyable to use, but I can no longer hand hold it at the long, 300mm, end, which is equivalent to 450mm on APS-C, 600mm on full frame! I highly recommend it.

Great Features; Great Picture Quality

Over all rated 9- good value for the money Construction 9. It is plastic, no lens hood Optically 9. Sharp, lens does not creep, i.e. feather detail shows clearly - i.e. the feather components, color rendition is accurate, have not shot to induce flare.

light weight; reasonably sharp-I get photos that are sharper than I got with nikon D800 + nikon 300mm F2.8

Over all rated 9- good value for the money

Something went wrong with this purchase. My fault was thinking that this lens is the newer version. Anyway product sent is fine

I am coming off a Nikon, latest being a D300. I could NEVER afford nor carry a 600mm Nikon. Key advantages. 1. Getting bird and other nature shots not previously achievable. Don't underestimate this point, a good quality shot is better than an outstanding quality shot you couldn't take. 2.

Compact; lightweight; fast focus; afordable

Image quality a bit soft at 300MM .; but for the price

I can't say a lot about the lens as it was a present for my husband for his birthday. He seems very pleased with it. What I did want to say is that anyone trying to claim cashback from Olympus for their summer promotion should know that Olympus and John Lewis don't say is that you need to provide a...

Good quality for quite small money; Sharp and quick

Prefer to use with good light

"I bought this lens and almost returned it as it was soft on anything >170mm Then I tried it with e shutter and with a fast shutter speed it is sharp right to 300mm. DXO messed up on this lens as they make no mention of testing it with this option.

First I am using it on the OMD E-M5 and the lens is one of only 2 options in the native micro four thirds mount, so if you are shooting a Panasonic body buy the Panasonic with OIS. If using the Olympus body the decision is harder a few stops of light of the Panasonic vs size and extra focal range of...

One of the advantages of the Micro Four Thirds sensor is the effect it has on telephoto lenses: with its 2x crop factor, it gives this 75-300mm lens an effective field of view of 150-600mm.
